TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a tablet containing as the main ingredient 5-methyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H)-pyridone.

BACKGROUND ART

5-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H)-pyridone (nonproprietary name: pirfenidone) is a medicine for pulmonary fibrosis as indication. Various effects of pirfenidone have been reported, for example, 1) treating effect for fibrosis in lung, arteriosclerotic lesion, or the like is described in JP Laid-Open (Tokukai) No. 1-102-215719, 2) a similar effect to 1) of pirfenidone analogs is described in JP Laid-Open (Tokuhyo) No. H08-510251, 3) usefulness for treating inflammation in respiratory organs or cutis is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,974,281, U.S. Pat. No. 4,042,699, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,052,509, and 4) inhibiting effect to the synthesis and release of TNF-α is described in JP Laid-Open (Tokuhyo) No. H11-512699.

In the above-mentioned 1) and 2), exemplified as a dosage form of pirfenidone are capsule, tablet, powder, granule, syrup, injection, cream, ointment, insufflation, eye lotion, suppository, and pill, preferable is capsule, injection, cream, and ointment, and working examples are only capsule and ointment. A tablet of pirfenidone and its preparation are not described concretely.

With regard to the dosage of pirfenidone, 600 mg to 2400 mg is administrated three times a day in above-mentioned 1). In test example 1 of 2), capsule containing 800 mg, 1200 mg, and 1600 mg of pirfenidone are described. In order to obtain a sufficient therapeutic effect, pirfenidone must be administrated much higher dose in comparison with a usual medicine.

In general, there are eight types of capsule: No. 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The bigger the number is, the smaller the size is. The general amount of a medicine contained in each capsule depending on the bulk density or compressibility of the medicine, as follows: about 60 mg to 100 mg in No. 5 capsule, about 100 mg to 170 mg in No. 4 capsule, about 140 mg to 220 mg in No. 3 capsule, about 180 mg to 300 mg in No. 2 capsule, about 240 mg to 390 rag in No. 1 capsule, and about 340 mg to 540 mg in No. 0 capsule. While No. 2 to No. 4 capsules have often been used for administration to human, a smaller types such as No. 3 to No. 5 capsules are becoming more popular in light of easy administration. A capsule usually contains not only an active ingredient, but also a pharmaceutical additive such as excipient, binder, and disintegrator, for improving the stability and efficacy of the active ingredient.

For example, if the amount of pirfenidone per one dose is 600 mg as mentioned above, amount of granules or mixed powder of pirfenidone to be filled in a capsule is about 800 mg to 850 mg. In encapsulating such an amount a No. 000 capsule or two No. 0 capsules are needed, and a patient has a strong pain during the administration. In case of much higher dose, it is impossible to prepare a practical capsule

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

The present invention tablet has excellent light-stability as shown in the examples mentioned latex. In spite of high content of the main ingredient, the tablet is compact, sufficiently hard and readily administrable.

The dosage varies with the conditions of the patients, administration route, their age, and body weight. In the case of oral administration, the dosage is thought to be preferable between about 1200 mg to about 1800 mg per a day. The amount per one administration is between 400 mg to 600 mg because of three division a day, and it is preferable to take two tablets each containing the main ingredient of between 200 mg to 300 mg.

The following examples and test examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope thereof.

EXAMPLE Example 1 Preparation of Pirfenidone Tablets

Pirfenidone (2,000 g) was mixed with 560 g of lactose and 50 g of carmellose calcium. The mixture was granulated by spraying a 5 (W/W) % aqueous solution of hydroxypropylcellulose (60 g) with a fluid bed granulator. Carmellose calcium and magnesium stearate were added to the granules at the ratios of 5.6 and 1.1 wt. % to the weight of the granules, respectively. The obtained mixture was compressed at a force of 13 kN and to give plain pirfenidone tablets each containing 200 mg of pirfenidone (size: 12.0×6.0 mm, weight: 285 mg/tablet).

The plain tablets were coated by spraying a 10 wt. % aqueous solution containing hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (66.7 g), triethyl citrate (6.7 g), and titanium oxide 26.6 g in an amount of 10 mg per tablet with a High-coator, to give the objective pirfenidone tablets.

The components of a pirfenidone tablet is shown below.

Example 2 Light Exposure Testing

Light exposure test of pirfenidone was carried out under the following condition, using “drug substance” obtained by packing 500 mg of milled pirfenidone drug substance in a heat-sealed transparent SP (Striped Package), “compressed drug substance” obtained by statically compressing 300 mg of milled pirfenidone drug substance, “the plain tablets” obtained in the above Example 1, and “the coated tablets” obtained in the above Example 1. The results are shown in table 2.

TABLE 2 Color difference Sample (ΔE) Discoloration Drug substance 0.73 slight Compressed drug substance 3.62 remarkable Plain tablets 5.08 remarkable Coated tablets 0.75 slight

Table 2 showed that remarkable color difference was not observed in the case of the pirfenidone drug substance, but a pirfenidone compressed drug substance and a pirfenidone plain tablet have a problem in light-stability. However, a pirfenidone coated tablet solves the problem in light-stability. A pirfenidone coated tablet is confirmed to have no problem in odor or bitterness.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The present invention provides a compact and sufficiently hard tablet containing a high content of pirfenidone which is necessary to be administered in high dose. And at the same time, the present invention solves the problem of its odor or bitterness and provides a readily administrable tablet. Furthermore, it solves the problem of light-stability caused by tableting pirfenidone and provides the stability requested as a medicine.
